Hoffman Planned Heroin Binge?

After Sunday’s deliberately unsympathetic notice of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death — millionaire celebrity junkies  don’t qualify for my pity — I hadn’t expected to return to the topic. Once a junkie’s dead, that’s it. Corpses don’t make much news. However, Donald Douglas reports that police found 50 bags of heroin at Hoffman’s apartment, indicating he […]

Amanda Bynes Returns to Sanity?

When the former Nickelodeon starlet had a very public nervous breakdown last year, I feared the worst.

Also, Jesus gives Silverman an […]

Available: Girlfriend, Slightly Used

Wombat featured this story in his “Live at Five” roundup this morning: Pop starlet Selena Gomez, 21, is on the rebound, looking for a new boyfriend after being dumped by Justin Bieber: “I actually talked to Katy Perry about guys who are intimidated by strong girls. I haven’t found someone yet who could understand my […]

Glenn Beck’s #LGBT Agenda?

My brother Kirby called this afternoon and began the conversation by saying, “You know if that kid in Florida kills himself . . .” Yeah, they’ll blame me. Volunteer Official Scapegoat™ of the Hate Olympics. Someone has to be the conservative who notices things you’re not supposed to notice and says things you’re not supposed […]
